This is all part of the plan. You can’t inoculate kids against tyranny if they have no understanding of what’s gone on in the world over the last few thousand years.

In my readings about the founding fathers I am amazed of their grasp of history. That’s one of the things that brought them to greatness. We are so dumbed down, and anything can be done with the young people because of this.

My son’s school history book on the pilgrims began with a chapter on how women had no rights. True story.

Women couldn’t vote. Or own property. I think its a stretch to say they had NO rights, but they sure didn’t have many.

Many of the Founding Fathers went to English universities.

I visited some in 1959 and there were portraits of several on the walls of the university.

They were unusual and educated men.
